Even if you can’t vote, you can still make an impact this election season in meaningful ways. Civic engagement goes beyond casting a ballot! As NAL CEO and President Ghida Dagher shared in a recent Marie Claire [[link removed]] article, her journey started at 13 by phone banking, where she reached out to Arabic-speaking voters to discuss the importance of voting.
You, too, can get involved by volunteering for campaigns, having conversations with family and friends, or engaging your community. Every action helps shape the outcome of elections and strengthens democracy in the process!
